CHAPTER 2712

Chapter 2712 Gwen was startled. “How did he get hurt?”

“It‘s because of you.” Kate sneered and looked at Gwen. The image of a vehemently determined

Steven during the early morning in the Hughes family residence appeared in Kate‘s mind. Original content from .

“If Gwen Larson came to look for me, then the very least I need to do is to meet with her and clear the

air with her,” was what he said.

At that time, Steven‘s father wanted to stop him from meeting with Gwen. He did not want Steven to be

affiliated or had connections with the people Luke knew. Thus, he ordered the bodyguard to encircle

him in the middle.

A bodyguard took out a military knife to threaten Steven, asking him to calm down and to not meet with

Gwen. Kate knew it was wrong to use violence to stop Steven from meeting Gwen. Nonetheless, she

would use that method too if she was Steven‘s father in that situation.

Steven had a phobia of knives, most likely due to the trauma he experienced when he was a kid. He

had been scared of knives and similar sharp objects. To this extent, he did not dare to touch the knife

that was identical to the custom–made military knife that Luke had. He just left it in a corner of the

house.

Therefore, Steven‘s father thought it was the most efficient way to stop Steven. What he did not

anticipate was that the new Steven was far from the gentle Steven from five years ago. He pushed

away the people around him with great strength, and amid the struggle, the bodyguard accidentally

stabbed him in the waist with the knife.

Steven‘s parents panicked and sent him back to his room while calling the family doctor to treat

Steven‘s wound. In spite of that, Steven jumped out the window and escaped before the family doctor

arrived.

The Hughes family went to look for Steven‘s whereabouts through the surveillance camera, but Steven

eluded everyone effectively. After switching his body to Luke‘s, Steven‘s stamina and anti–

reconnaissance capability were on a totally different level from the past. Fortunately, Kate had installed

a tracking app on his phone when Steven found out she was following him. Otherwise, they would have

had a hard time tracking him down.

Having thought of that, the way Kate looked at Gwen became more resentful. She knew the

brainwashing and hypnotizing were not as successful as they thought.

The reaction Steven had when he saw Gwen was not right, and so were most of Steven‘s habits and

alertness. Therefore, it was important to stop Steven from meeting Gwen. That was indeed why Kate

would take the risk after arranging a truck to create an accident to kill Gwen when she found out the

location where Steven asked to meet with Gwen. In her thought, Steven would return to normalcy as

long as Gwen was dead.

All of the abnormalities that Steven had only appeared when he saw Gwen! “Because of me?” Gwen

furrowed her brow, not understanding what Kate was implying. “But the doctor said the wound on his

waist wasn‘t from recently.”

She had only met Steven after Steven was in the accident. How was it possible she was related

to Steven getting hurt? Kate sneered. She had no intention to tell Gwen that Steven was hurt during the

fight when he wanted to see Gwen.

She curled up her lips and smiled. “Because...”

She stared at Gwen‘s face and talked indifferently, “Because I told you the only reason you were

bothering him is that your boyfriend‘s organs were in his body. So...”

Kate lowered her voice and got close to Gwen‘s ear. Her voice sounded so low and eerie. “He loves me

so much that he didn’t want to have anything to do with you. He was afraid that I’m unhappy because

of that. Because of that, he stabbed himself with the knife, thinking of taking away the organs and

handing them to you, not wanting anything to do with you anymore. If I didn‘t stop him, he would‘ve

taken out Luke‘s organs one by one and returned them back to you!”
